Google Earth for Linux

Awhile ago, DaveR showed me Google Earth on his XP box and I was kinda jilted.  I wanted to cruise the earth’s surface, find a few places I used to live, do archeology, or just be curious about.  Google must have known that I run Linux and wanted it available on Linux. Because now its downloadable right here!!  I don’t have the right creds on my laptop to really get good acceleration; but my 128mb nvidia card on my desktop does. 

Check it out!  It has some rough edges and the screen gets choppy every so oftten.  But good things start with a single step.  In this case with learning the controls for moving around to other continents.  I have a few places now I want to revisit that DaveR took me to before like the Grand Canyon and Australia.  The memories of the Mojave Desert, that wondrous triangle of land where Edwards AFB sits, the northern Tehachapi Mountain boundary, and many years of tromping the deserts; all came back in some clarity and mouse clicks.
